PHOENIX, AZ – For the
second year in a row, Lincoln Property Company (LPC) Desert West has earned a
regional “The Outstanding Building of the Year” (TOBY) award from the Building
Owners and Managers Association (BOMA).

LPC earned the TOBY for its
management of the the Arizona Department
of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) Building, situated in Central Phoenix, just
off of Interstate 10 in the heart of the State Capitol and fully occupied by
ADEQ.

The TOBY awards are
presented by BOMA and are the industry’s most prestigious honor for excellence
in building quality and management.

The six-story Class A ADEQ
office building is located at 1110 W.
Washington St. in Phoenix. It is certified LEED Silver and houses 12 state
agencies. LPC has provided third-party management services for the project
since 2009.

“This building has a great
history with LPC,” said said Lincoln Property Company’s Executive Vice
President David Krumwiede. “Several
of us were involved with the original development and management of the
building, when it was delivered in 2002.

“Other team members have
been actively managing the building for many years. We value this long-standing
relationship and appreciate the trust that ADEQ continues to place in us to
keep their property at optimal quality and efficiency.“

In addition to managing
projects in its ownership portfolio, LPC Desert West also provides
award-winning third party property management services. Across the Desert West
region, this includes more 6 million square feet of office, industrial and
retail space.

“Our mantra is that we
manage like owners because we are owners, and that truly is the case,” said
Lincoln Property Company’s Associate Director of Management Services Megan Watkins.

At the ADEQ building, LPC
maintains open lines of communication with tenants and monitors its progress
through regular surveys, the most recent of which earned a 100 percent tenant
satisfaction rate.

LPC also works with ADEQ to give back to the community
through local events and hiring practices, such as through the Southwest Autism
Research and Resource Center.

Amenities at the ADEQ
building include a two-story atrium, grand staircase and on-site café.
Low-water desert landscaping uses only reclaimed water from the building
cooling towers.

Interiors are designed to maximize indirect
lighting, with motion sensor controls and automatic dimmers on all lights
within 15 feet of exterior windows. Also included are automatic low water flush
valves and touch-free bathrooms.
